UK property, minus the hype

From your first house to your first portfolio — one straight-talking community.

Free guides that tell you the catch. A Discord where questions get real answers, not a sales funnel. And when you're ready for deal flow, a Pro tier at a price we publish — £29 a month, not a £12,000 course.

How it works

1. Join free

The Discord is the front room. Tell us your region, budget and goal when you join — no forms, no sales call.

2. Learn the process

Ten free guides cover the whole journey — deposits, stamp duty, conveyancing, surveys, yields, auctions. Ask anything in the community.

3. Get deals matched to you

Housetrix Pro (launching soon) pings you properties matching your criteria, with the numbers stacked and the catch stated out loud.

How much deposit do you actually need?

This one's for UK first-time buyers and anyone buying their first investment property in their own name. The honest answer is "5% gets you in, but every extra 5% makes the mortgage cheaper" — and there's free government

Stamp duty, explained with real numbers

If you're buying a home or your first buy-to-let in England or Northern Ireland, stamp duty is probably the biggest single fee you'll pay — and the one most people get wrong when budgeting. This guide gives you the curre

Freehold vs leasehold (and the traps)

Buying your first home or first buy-to-let in England or Wales? This is the legal distinction that can quietly cost you tens of thousands. Here's what freehold and leasehold mean, the traps ranked by pain, and where the

What your solicitor actually does (conveyancing)

You've had an offer accepted. Now a solicitor takes over and, from the outside, nothing seems to happen for three months. This guide is for first-time buyers and new investors in England and Wales who want to know what's

Which survey to get (and what to do with it)

This one's for first-time buyers and new investors who've had an offer accepted (step 7 of the first-home guide) and are now staring at the word "survey" wondering which one to pay for. Short version: the survey is the o

The bit other property sites won't say

  • • No £12,000 academy. No "free" seminar that's actually a pitch. Free means free.
  • • Our prices are on a public page, because hiding prices behind a sales call is a tell.
  • • Property is slow and boring when done right. Anyone promising fast is selling something.
  • • Education, not advice — mortgage questions go to an FCA-authorised broker, and we'll say so.
